A Sloan Product

In this often touching, sometimes hilarious, and always revealing memoir, Neil Selinger leads us deftly through the lives of a unique and unwieldy ensemble cast of characters connected by blood and an extended family business commandeered by the matriarch Olga. A Sloan Product is a powerful narrative of a long-gone era in its own right, but it is the unadorned, authentic voice of the writer-the lost boy Neil-that makes this book utterly memorable. ---Steven Lewis, author of Zen and the Art of Fatherhood and Fear and Loathing of Boca Raton
